MMA Standup Conditioning Using Resistance Bands

Bruno-MMA

Resistance bands serve a wide variety of purposes and allow athletes to work on flexibility, strength and sport specific movements. In boxing or martial arts, the bands allow you to work on your specific punches, but instead of punching against air, the bands provide resistance, which leads to increased strength and power. You can easily reap the benefits of faster and more powerful punches by incorporating band training into your workout.

What you need to do:
Attach the resistance band or bands to a fence or sturdy post. The band should be in line with the direction of your punch. That means that it should be about shoulder-height and you should have room in front of you to punch straight ahead or to the side.

Ab Wheel

Benefits

The ab wheel can produce excellent results. It trains not only the abdominal muscles but the entire core, including the lower back, latisimus and gluteal muscles. Arm and leg muscles also come into play to create a total body workout.

Variations

More challenging exercises can be performed using the ab wheel. The rollout can be done standing on your feet rather than kneeling. Other exercises can be executed with ab wheel strapped to your feet. For example, assume a push-up position, and then push and pull your legs forward and back, rolling on the ab wheel. In this same push-up position you can raise your hips in the air, rolling the ab wheel toward you to form a pike position. Lying on your back, you also can lift your hips off of the floor and roll the ab wheel with your legs.

Level of Difficulty

While the ab wheel is a simple device, it is quite challenging on the body. At first you may not be able to roll out very far. It is a good idea to limit your ab wheel workout to 10 reps for the first few days. Your endurance will build up over time, and you will be able to roll out farther and complete more repetitions.

85%+ of Your Results Comes from What you Eat

I can’t stress how HUGE this is. Whether weight loss or gaining muscle, diet and what you eat is the biggest part of the equation. I don’t care how advanced and special your workouts are, if your nutrition stinks then you will most likely get little results. This is not discounting the importance of working out either, as that is key too to help stimulate muscle growth and keep your metabolism strong in the process.

But a simple workout with enough resistance/volume 3x/wk and dialed in nutrition will give phenomenal results. Too many just workout to use that as an excuse not to do the hard stuff, as in eat right the rest of the time.

Abs are Made in the Kitchen
Most people think doing some ab exercises at the end of your workout for 30min and that will be enough stimulation, but without proper focus on diet/nutrition you will never see those abs in the first place.
